In this 1946 film, he and his band, dubbed the Cactus Cowboys, present three singing squares: Lady Around the Lady, Duck for the Oyster and Dig for the Clam, and Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous.

Note: In Lady Around the Lady, Clark calls "Four hands a half, a half right and left." Instead of dancing a right and left through, the dancers circle left halfway, and then back to the right halfway before swinging their partners.]]>2014-07-01T23:30:00-04:00
